  • Place the lid on your pot.
  • Turn heat on to medium high. Shake your pot often.
  • After a few minutes you will hear the corn popping. Continue to shake your pot. It will take several minutes for your corn to pop; partly the time will depend on the level of heat, but also on the age of the kernels.
  • You know that your popcorn is done when you do not hear any popping sounds for several seconds.
  • Remove pot from heat. Carefully remove the lid. Add the salt and shake your popcorn in the pot.
    1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Enjoy!
